Subject: Lime and Mascarpone Cheesecake
Hello,
I've just discovered your website on the internet and I'm hoping you
can help. A few years ago I picked up the recipe for the above from
Sainsburys (one of their recipe cards) and it was absolutely delicious!
Unfortunately I do not have it anymore and would love to find the recipe
again.
Thanks in advance for anything you may find.
Regards
Samantha.
Hello Samantha,
No problem. See below.
Phaed
Lime and Marscapone Cheesecake
This was a recipe shown on television during August 1995. The
advertisement spent most of the recipe talking about the decoration
and one or two lines on a very simple, very creamy and delightfully
simple dessert. This recipe focuses on the dessert!
Ingredients
500g Marscapone cheese (or plain cream cheese)
Four limes (preferably unwaxed)
200g Ginger nut biscuits, crushed or ground in a food processor
A little icing sugar
50g Butter
Method
Melt the butter in a saucepan and add the biscuit crumbs. Press firmly
into a 20cm loose bottomed dish and put to one side.
Put the Marscapone in a bowl and beat until firm. Add the juice of three
limes and the grated or zested rind of all four into the cheese. Stir,
adding a little icing sugar if the mixture seem too sloppy.
Spread the cheese over the biscuit base and leave to chill for an hour
or so before serving.
Feel free to serve with chocolate leaves, etc, but it really doesn't need
them

Hello Kathleen,
Douglas Ettridge is a well known British-American aviation artist.
There is a lengthy article (with a photo) about him here:

Dear Uncle Phaedrus, I was looking through the archives for recipes
using Quark. On Dec. 21, 1999 you gave 2 sources for Quark in the U.S..
I would like to let you know of another.
Oakdale Cheese and Specialties
10040 Hwy. 120
Oakdale, CA 95361
209 848-3139
WWW.Oakdalecheese.com
This is owned by Dutch immigrants and they manufacture 11 flavors of
Gouda cheese and they also make Quark. The business consists of the
small cheese manufacturing plant, a bakery, a gourmet food and gift
store and picnic grounds.They sell the cheeses and Quark in their store
and at several Certified Farmers markets as well.
I just thought I'd let you know! As always I appreciate your site. I
love researching recipes and ingredients. It's sort of a hobby of mine,
too.
Sharon

Hi Rhi and Brenda,
Below are the only two recipes that I could locate for Applebee's Smothered
Chicken. The "Burger-Fry Seasoning" is a commercial product. You may not
be able to obtain it.
Phaed
Smothered Chicken (Applebee's)
1 (8 oz.) chicken breast marinated in a teriyaki flavoring
1/2 cup each mushrooms, green peppers, and yellow onions sautéed in butter
and Burger-Fry Seasoning
1 slice of Monterey jack cheese
1 slice of cheddar cheese
Grill the chicken... cover the chicken breast with the sautéed mix.
Cut the cheese into 1/2 slices, and layer the cheese over the sautéed
veggies. Place in oven until cheeses melt...
-----------------------------------------------------
Applebee's Inspired Smothered Chicken and Veggies
Ingredients:
4-6 chicken breasts, thinly sliced
Any vegetables you desire.
I usually use:
2 portabella mushrooms, sliced
1 zuchinni, sliced
1 thin yellow squash, sliced.
1-1/2 pounds of button mushrooms, sliced
1 red bell pepper, sliced
olive oil
garlic powder
paprika
salt, pepper
dried basil, oregano
Mozzerella cheese (as desired)
1/2 sliced onion
In a large skillet, brown chicken slices in olive oil. Add spices to taste,
while chicken is still raw, but save paprika, until it is cooked through.
Remove chicken to a casserole dish, the bigger the dish, the better. So that
you can spread out the veggies and cheese.
In same skillet sautee the veggies with a little more olive oil. The
portabellas taste wonderful in this dish. Use all of the same spices to
taste.
Arrange on top of chicken in the casserole dish.
Add shredded mozzerella cheese and bake for 5-10 min until cheese is melted
on a 350 degree oven.

Subject: Chocolate Eruption Cake
Hi,
I'm trying to find the recipe for Chocolate Eruption Cake. It's served
in lots of chain restaurants, e.g., East Side Marios, Second Cup.
See a picture and description at:
https://www.kwrestaurants.com/menu/eastsideu/menu.htm
and also at this site 3/4 of the way down the page:
https://www.lawlers.com/main1e.htm
They sell it here:
https://www.gourmetbaker.com/products/cheesecakes.html
It's basically a mousse cake with embellishments. It has an inner
chocolate mousse filling with chunks of white chocolate cheesecake
stuff embedded in the dark chocolate. It's in a layer of chocolate
sponge cake and is drizzled with caramel and has nuts on top.
Can you help?

1/4 cup oil
Topping:
1 package (397 g) Kraft caramels
4 tablespoons milk
1/3 cup chopped roasted pecans
In large mixer bowl combine all ingredients (except topping). Beat until
blended. Pour into greased and floured 9-inch springform pan.
Bake at 350 F for 1 hour or until toothpick inserted in center comes out
clean. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pan.
Microwave caramels with milk until melted; stir until smooth. With small
wooden spoon handle, poke holes into cake.
Pour in filling and garnish with chopped roasted pecans.
